Episode 253 of the Paddock Pass Podcast is out, and this one is our Moto2 and Moto3 follow-up to Episode 252, which focused on the MotoGP action from the Valencia GP at the Spanish circuit.

On the mics, we have Neil Morrison and Adam Wheeler, as they walk us through the on-track action in the support classes. 

What will probably be our last time recording in a Mexican restaurant, the guys first cover the Moto2 Championship victory of Remy Gardner, before the diving into the Moto3 Championship win of Pedro Acosta.

The Moto3 race at the Doha round will live on in the collective memory of race fans for a very long time.

The fact that Pedro Acosta won the Moto3 race in Qatar at the tender age of 16 years and 314 days, becoming the eleventh youngest Grand Prix winner of all time, was remarkable enough.

The fact that it was just his second Grand Prix made it even more remarkable, especially after Acosta finished on the podium in his first race.

But what Acosta’s victory in the Qatar 2 Moto3 race will be most remembered for is the fact that the Spanish youngster won the race after starting from pit lane.
